It ties in exactly; that was my point. The previous graph plotted two plots: 1) the raw data and 2) an exponential fit with a time constant (exponential time constant or e-folding time) of 9 days. The two curves (as you may recall) were right on top of each other.
This next day's data fit right on top of the curve.
However, what will really be important is whether the curve continues. If we hit 400 cases by Friday, then it is clear that the growth curve is robust.
At this point, they are watching another 360 possible cases.

The highly technical term we use to describe the situation you refer to above is:
The bug is out of the box...
Let us all pray that there is still time to contain this killer.
